You were better than us for sure, but don't kid yourself that we weren't under par, because we were. As good as you were, if we were on our game, we had it in us to win.

Even back in 1996 (my first season) they seemed to play with some sort of effort, I can forgive a poor performance, i can not forgive a lack of effort! How many times did you see a forward actually run in hard with the ball, how many times did we have a good passing move, we turned up for most of the game played one up football and yet we are all ment to clap there and say well done, if you went to a show and a performer forgot most of his script and was bumbling around for most of it would you whole heartly applaud them off at the end?

Part of staying is maybe for the effort of getting there, in previous rounds ? They have made a monumental effort to get there.

Throw some names out who you don't think put much effort in.

I won't criticise people who left, it's their own choice but I'll bet it hurt all those players more than it did even the most loyal of fans

I go back to 1955 and you 1996 ,lack of effort !!you should have seen some parts of the 1980s and you may have complained of lack of effort

Apology? You are so Sad. We were beaten in the FINAL by a better side. You should apologise for your Stupid childish comments. The Club that I have supported since 1966 has now got the best team ever. You had better face up to the fact that in Rugby league you sometimes loose a game.

This is possibly the best team you will ever see.

Get a life

Conceding six penalties and knocking on six times with one forward pass and one loose offload suggested a more controlled performance than is usual from Leeds this season.

Unfortunately they were below par in lots of other areas. Failure to score when it was harder not to, last tackle plays, kicking game, the number of times Sinfield was driving the ball in on the 5th. Lauitiiti's non-selection in favour of Kirke and Ablett, especially Ablett.

Whilst full credit should be given to Warrington, the idea that they were somehow 'unstoppable' is a nonsense. The only genuinely close to unstoppable British team I've seen was Wigan in its heyday when they really wanted to win. No other side before or since has been unbeatable.

What cannot and shouldn't be hidden is just how poor Leeds were on the day. Quite frankly at times they looked like a rabble.

3 consecutive Grand Final wins and a Challenge Cup Final and they owe you an apology? You should have been a Hull fan at the 1983 final if you wanted to see a performance worthy of an apology.

I agree with this 100%

If I may put my six penneth in?
As a neuteral,I thought ON THE DAY that Wire were the better side.
I am probably putting my foot in it here,but I have always admired Leeds style of play.
Every team has a dip at sometime,and unluckily for you ,it was on cup final day.Can`t see why players have to apologise.They didn`t lose on purpose.
